And to directly access the file directories: http://gutenberg.net/dirs/ Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to Nov 2003 to the new filenaming and directory system (based on the eBook number). This process includes some file maintenance (repairing, correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable). These re-postings are noted in the "corrections" listings below.

If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed, and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it, please email dphelp(a)pgdp.net and we will get things started. Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online, visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file) listing Project Gutenberg eBooks and is available for downloading. Do you have Public Domain books you would like to see in the archive? Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp(a)pgdp.net with your geographic location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner (note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which will not be returned). We have high-speed scanners currently located in the east, west and central portions of the US to make shipping easier. Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at: http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK' lines to dphelp(a)pgdp.net Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself? Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution!

Statistical Review In the 50 weeks of this year, we have produced 3,861 new eBooks. It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3,861 eBooks!!! That's 50 WEEKS as Compared to ~31.5 YEARS!!! FLASHBACK! Here's a sample of what books we were doing around eBook #3861 Memoirs of the Court of St. Cloud, Complete, by Stewarton 3899 [Being Secret Letters from a Gentleman at Paris to a Nobleman in London] Memoirs of the Court of St. Cloud, Volume 7, by Stewarton 3898 ... Memoirs of the Court of St. Cloud, Volume 1, by Stewarton 3892 Memoirs Of The Court Of Marie Antoinette, by Madame Campan 3891 Being the Historic Memoirs of Madam Campan, First Lady in Waiting to the Queen Memoirs of Marie Antoinette, Queen Of France, Volume 7, by Madame Campan 3890 ... Memoirs of Marie Antoinette, Queen Of France, Volume 1, by Madame Campan 3884 Secret Memoirs of Louis XV/XVI, Complete, by Madame du Hausset, et al 3883 Being Secret Memoirs of Madame du Hausset, Lady's Maid to Madame de Pompadour, and of an Unknown English Girl & The Princess Lamballe [Author: Madame du Hausset, an "Unknown English Girl" & the Princess Lamballe] The Memoirs of Louis XV. and XVI., Volume 7, by Hausset et al. 3882 ... The Memoirs of Louis XV. and XVI., Volume 1, by Hausset et al. 3876 The Memoirs of Louis XIV, by Duc de Saint-Simon 3875 [Title: The Memoirs of Louis XIV, and His Court and The Regency, Complete] The Memoirs of Louis XIV., Volume 15, by Duc de Saint-Simon 3874 ... The Memoirs of Louis XIV., Volume 1, by Duc de Saint-Simon 3860 With 14,768 eBooks online as of December 22, 2004 it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.68 from each book, for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books. 100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population! This "cost" is down from about $.93 when we had 10,750 eBooks a year ago Can you imagine ~14,768 books each costing ~$.25 less a year later??? Or. . .would this say it better? Can you imagine ~14,768 books each costing 1/3 less a year later??? At 14,768 eBooks in 33 Years and 05.60 Months We Averaged 441 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!] 36.8 Per Month 1.21 Per Day At 3861 eBooks Done In The 357 Days Of 2004 We Averaged 11 Per Day 77 Per Week 341 Per Month The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks' production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon, starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon. This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week. *** *Headline News from NewsScan and Edupage [PG Editor's Comments In Brackets] >From NewsScan: JUDGE SLAMS SPAMMERS WITH $1-BILLION JUDGMENT [More below in Edupage section] A federal judge in Iowa has awarded a small ISP more than $1 billion in damages in what's believed to be the largest judgment ever against spammers. The case was brought by Robert Kramer, whose company provides e-mail service to about 5,000 customers, and who filed suit after his inbound mail servers were jammed with as many as 10 million spam-mails a day in 2000. Citing federal racketeering laws (RICO) and the Iowa Ongoing Criminal Conduct Act, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Wolle ordered AMP Dollar Savings of Mesa, Ariz., to pay $720 million; Cash Link Systems of Miami, Fla., $360 million; and TEI Marketing Group, also of Florida, $140,000. "It's definitely a victory for all of us that open up our e-mail and find lewd and malicious and fraudulent e-mail in our boxes every day," said Kramer, who is unlikely to ever collect on the judgments. (AP/Wall Street Journal 20 Dec 2004) <http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB110349923676804327,00.html> (sub req'd) CHINATECH ON THE RISE Journalist Evan Ramstad notes that China's 250 million users (about one-fifth of the country's total population) far surpass those of any other country and that China's technological rise is happening faster than it did elsewhere in Asia: "China passed the U.S. in unit consumption of TV sets two years ago as household penetration of TVs passed 90%, closing in on the near ubiquity of TVs in developed countries. If population trends hold, China is unlikely to be challenged as the world's largest market for TVs until the middle of the century, when India is expected to become the most populous country. And when final figures emerge shortly, we're likely to learn that China passed the U.S. this year as the world's top PC maker, another change unlikely to be challenged for years to come." (Wall Street Journal 20 Dec 2004) <http://www.wsj.com> EBAY PROTESTS EXECUTIVE'S ARREST IN INDIA EBay is outraged by the arrest of Avnish Bajaj, the Indian-born and Harvard-educated chief of the company's India auction site Baazee.com, in a case involving the sale of a video clip of a teenage couple engaged in illicit acts. EBay says the video clip was never shown on the site and that the seller had merely offered it to buyers with a description of its content, but the law under which the arrest makes publishing or transmitting obscene material in any electronic form punishable by up to five years in jail. (New York Times 21 Dec 2004) <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/21/technology/21ebay.html> BATTLE IN BANGALORE: MICROSOFT WINS Microsoft has won a battle against open source software supporters in Bangalore, India, a high-tech hub whose local authorities have selected Microsoft as their vendor of choice software for networking the state's utilities and services in an e-governance project for the 55 million people of Karnataka state. Microsoft sold software at 45 percent of the market price to the private company executing the Bangalore project, a move the company's critics derided as merely a trick to tie large populations to proprietary software. Defending his decision to choose Microsoft, Indian official Rajiv Chawla points out that Microsoft is "quite popular even in villages," and adds: "Let open source become so popular, then we will have no problem using it." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 20 Dec 2004) <http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/10459988.htm> AUTOMATED MEDICATION WORSE THAN THE DISEASE? A report from U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), a nonprofit group that sets standards for the drug industry, says that as more hospitals have implemented automated systems for administering drugs the number of errors associated with them has risen. USP vice president Diane Cousins says, "It would seem logical that applying computer technology to the medication use process would have a significant positive impact in preventing medication errors. Yet, depending on the computer's design or user competence, new points of potential errors can emerge." Kenneth Kizer of the National Quality Forum agrees with Cousins: "Technology offers great opportunity to reduce errors, but it's not a panacea. You can't just throw a computerized system in and expect that everything's fixed. It has to be done right. The technology is only as good as the people who use it." (Washington Post 20 Dec 2004) <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A15178-2004Dec20.html> CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' OF GREENER GADGETS The California Energy Commission Wednesday unanimously approved standards to be phased in beginning in 2006 that would require household appliances sold in the state, including televisions, VCRs, DVD players and cell phone chargers, to run on one to three watts. Even when idle, such appliances now typically gobble up two to 10 watts. Commissioners estimate that compliance with the new guidelines will save commercial and residential power customers more than $3 billion over 15 years.

On the issue of protecting music and movies from Internet piracy, Senator Orrin Hatch (R, UT), a songwriter himself, has been the entertainment industry's most powerful ally in Congress, but in 2005 Sen. Arlen Specter (R, PA) will replace Hatch as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Will there be much change? One aide says that Specter "has been a follower rather than a leader on these issues" and therefore might let Hatch keep holding the reins. However, David Green of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) predicts that Specter will rise to the occasion: "Copyright issues are important and they're going to percolate up, and it's really impossible for him to ignore them. He might be right now more interested in something else, but because these issues are important to America they are going to be important to Arlen Specter."

Coming soon with similar services: Yahoo, Google, and Microft. Blinkx, which has analyzed and indexed 42,000 hours of video, says "fair use" provisions of copyright law allow it to show a clip of up to 30 seconds. But attorney Daniel Harris, an intellectual property attorney, warns: "It definitely sounds like an area where there could be lawsuits." (Wall Street Journal 16 Dec 2004) <http://www.wsj.com> GEICO CASE AGAINST GOOGLE DISMISSED BY JUDGE A federal district court judge in Virginia has dismissed a key claim in the trademark infringement suit brought against Google by Geico, the auto insurance company. Geico had argued that the Google practice that allows Geico's competitors to buy ads linked to searches for "Geico" and "Geico Direct" confuses Web surfers who are looking specifically for Geico, but the judge ruled that there was not enough evidence the Google practice actually confuses consumers. One intellectual property attorney not involved in the case predicts: "It will not be binding precedent. That's how cases get to the Supreme Court."(New York Times 15 Dec 2004) <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/15/technology/15cnd-google.html?oref=login> ANOTHER ROUND IN THE APPLE-VS.-REAL NETWORKS FIGHT Apple has begun blocking the technology that RealNetworks created to evade the copy-protection shield used by Apple's iPod. When RealNetworks introduced its Harmony technology this summer, it hoped to dissolve some of the barriers created by incompatible, proprietary digital music standards, and said it had reverse-engineered Apple's copy-protection code to allow songs purchased from non-Apple online outlets to be playable on the iPod. To deal with Apple's new move, RealNetworks now says it "will look at the Apple upgrade and see how it'll make Harmony work once again with the iPod." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 15 Dec 2004) <http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/10425219.htm> CONROVERSY OVER WIRELESS PHONE DIRECTORY Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal wants the cellular phone industry to discard its plans to create a directory assistance system for wireless phone numbers because there are "too many unknowns and dangers and too few protections at this point." But Kathleen Pierz, a Michigan analyst specializing in directory assistance counseling, says there are plenty of safeguards: "This is so buttoned up from a customer point of view, people don't have to worry. Blumenthal fears that a list of wireless numbers would inevitably be sold to telemarketers: "If the lists are there, they will be sold. They are so valuable. No cell phone company will resist the temptation to sell those lists for the huge profits." Pierz, however, points out that there is no marketing value to such lists because of existing federal laws preventing entities from calling a cell phone. (AP/USA Today 21 Dec 2004) <http://www.usatoday.com/tech/wireless/phones/2004-12-21-mobile411_x.htm> ACACIA EXPANDS PATENT HOLDINGS [The Speculators Take Over From The Inventors, Yet Again!] Acacia Research, which has made a name for itself pursuing patent infringement lawsuits, has acquired Global Patent Holdings, an umbrella company whose holdings represent numerous high-tech patents. One of Global Patent's companies, TechSearch, has already entered into licensing deals with companies including Sony and Samsung. Previously, Acacia has threatened or taken legal action against a range of companies, alleging patent infringement for technologies that stream media over the Web. Targets of that legislation have included pornography Web sites, the Walt Disney Company, and colleges and universities that use streaming media in online education. Acacia said the new acquisition will expand its patent holdings to cover dozens of technologies, or parts of them, including those related to P2P communication and spreadsheet software. Paul Ryan, CEO of Acacia, said, "We will continue to acquire additional portfolios, as Acacia moves towards its goal of becoming the leading technology licensing company." Analysts said Acacia's business model of acquiring patents and earning revenues through licenses represents a growing trend in the technology industry.

Google Desktop is a downloadable program that creates an index of material on a user's computer, including e-mail and individual documents. When that user does a Google search of the Web, the application incorporates local resources from the index in the results. In what began as a student project to investigate how Google Desktop works, two students and a computer science professor found that the application could be fooled into sending results from a local index to Web sites, allowing a hacker to see them. The problem would only reveal small portions of information, and no attacks using the flaw have been reported. After being notified by the researchers of the vulnerability in late November, Google patched the flaw and began offering a new version of the search tool in December. In addition, the application includes a feature that allows Google to update the software without user input or even knowledge about the upgrade. New York Times, 20 December 2004 (registration req'd) http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/20/technology/20flaw.html ["The Paperless Society. . .at least for the military] ARMY CONTRACTS FOR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM TO ELIMINATE PAPER The U.S. Army has contracted with IBM and several smaller companies to develop an entirely electronic records-management system to be implemented over the next 10 years. Army personnel fill out approximately 15 million forms each year, using as many as 100,000 different forms, for tasks including ordering supplies, keeping medical records, and managing awards and citations. Under the current system, forms must be printed out, hand-signed, and moved manually through all applicable authorizations. The new system, part of the Army's Forms Content Management Program, will eliminate much of that paperwork and save large amounts of money. According to Jim Acklin, the director of the project, the Army will save $1.3 billion a year in "cost avoidance." In addition to IBM, the project includes services from PureEdge and Silanis, two Canadian companies. Reuters, 17 December 2004 http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?storyID=7126627 GOOGLE PARTNERS WITH LIBRARIES TO DIGITIZE CONTENT Google has announced agreements with major libraries to digitize books in their collections and make them available online. Google is funding the project, which is said to have strong support from founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who said that such dissemination of information has always been one of their goals. Under the arrangements, Google reportedly will scan all of the eight million books at Stanford University's library and all of the University of Michigan's seven million texts. For the others involved in the project--Harvard University, Oxford University, and the New York Public Library--only portions of the collections will be scanned. For books whose copyright remains in effect, Google will scan the entire text but make available only selected portions online. Books whose copyright has run out will be available in their entirety. The announcement follows similar programs from the Library of Congress as well as Amazon to digitize content of books. New York Times, 14 December 2004 (registration req'd) http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/14/technology/14cnd-goog.html JUDGE HITS SPAMMERS WITH $1 BILLION FINE A federal judge in Iowa has issued fines totaling $1 billion against three spammers, marking what some observers believe is the largest judgment handed down to spammers. The ruling came from a case filed by Robert Kramer, operator of a small Internet service provider in eastern Iowa. Kramer, whose company serves about 5,000 customers, filed suit against 300 spammers, alleging that they send his subscribers upwards of 10 million spam e-mails per day. The judge ordered three of the defendants to pay damages under a state law that allows for fines of $10 per spam message, and those amounts were then tripled under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Cases against other defendants are still pending. In his ruling Judge Charles R. Wolle ordered Arizona-based AMP Dollar Savings to pay $720 million, Florida-based Cash Link Systems to pay $360 million, and TEI Marketing Group, also based in Florida, to pay $140,000. No attorneys for any of the defendants were present during the trial, and the plaintiff's attorney conceded it is unlikely his client will ever collect any of the damages.

Only one source I heard had the nerve to say that the scores didn't really show any improvement, while the rest seemed to reek of jingoism. However, in reviewing the scores, it seems obvious that the U.S. test scores in question, the 8th grade math scores, were basically unchanged, moving up less than 1% from the 1999 score of 500 to the 2003 score of 504, out of 800. This represents a change of 1/5 of 1% per year, which I seriously doubt is within the statistical parameters of the TIMSS testing methodologies. Much more likely is the fact that the U.S. ranking has been changed more by changes in the other countries, both in terms of the changes the countries chosen for the 2003 tests, and the performance changes of those countries that stayed the same. For example, some score changes in the top 10 of 1999: Country 1999/2003 Change Singapore 643/605 = 38 Korea 607/589 = 18 Japan 605/570 = 35 Hong Kong 588/586 = 3 Belgium (Fl) 565/537 = 28 Slovak Republic 547/508 = 39 Netherlands 541/536 = 5 Slovenia 541/493 = 48 Average 579.63/553.00 = 26.75 Thus we see that that most other countries changed much more than did the U.S., which changed very little. It would appear that the U.S. didn't really move on the charts so much as other countries moved up and down past the U.S. In addition, it appears that the science scores were not mentioned in these news reports, nor were the scores for students in the lower grade classes. I will have to dig them up to let you know more about them in later issues. *Information About the Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists For more information about the Project Gutenberg's mailing lists, including the Project Gutenberg Weekly and Monthly Newsletters: and the other Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists: The weekly is sent on Wednesdays, and the monthly is sent on the first Wednesday of the month.

Project Googleberg

PROJECT GOOGLEBERG This message contains most of those questions Project Gutenberg received about Google Print over the past week, and first draft answers. At this time I have not included quotations from some of reports I have at hand, so if you have any favorites such as "This is going to change the entire world" sort of thing, email them to me for inclusion in the final draft. Added questions & comments are encouraged. One week ago Google created the most massive press announcement ever seen. I received a phone call that morning from a Project Gutenberg volunteer to tell me about it, and immediately turned on the radio and heard the announcement. No waiting, it was on right then, and repeated on every news show I listened to. NPR, NBC, ABC, CBS, BBC all had obviously received the thorough press releases also being used by most of the print media, none of which gave any indication of ever having heard of any eBooks . . .it was as though this were a brand new invention. No mention of Project Gutenberg, Project Runeberg, The Internet Public Library, or The Online Book Pages, most of whom had been available for around a decade, well before Google began, not to mention the large number of newer eBooks sites now available. NBC did do a follow up on their Sunday night news, then touting the Cleveland Public Library as having a 5,000 eBook collection their patrons could check out online. No mention of the prices paid for those eBooks, but I'm guessing the total cost of their eBook collection sites could be approaching a million dollars. Still no mention of any of the free eBooks that have now been a staple on the Internet for over a third of a century, literally since there were only 100 people on the entire Internet back in the days before it was even called the Internet. *** I'm sure you are nearly all aware of Google's eBook announcement a week ago today. Many of you have asked email questions we are trying to answer for you. The 7 major types of questions being asked are: 1. What will the Google Print sites be like? 2. How many books will there be, and when will they be available? 3. Is this the first eBook library on the Internet? 4. What kinds of books are included in these eLibraries? 5. What about books from other parts of the world? 6. What about other eLibraries? 7. What else should we consider for eLibraries? If you would like to add questions to this list, or modify any of the questions already listed, please let us know, and we will try our best to find the answers for you among the dozen of sources. We have preliminary answers worked up. If you would be a willing proofreader or researcher, here they are in the preliminary email we have prepared over the last week: Project Googleberg #1 In the 48 hours since the announcement of the "Google Print" project, I have listened to 6 major network news stories and read, and reread, the major print media stories in an attempt to answer these following questions as best I can. Sometimes it has not been possible to get a good answer from the information available, and I am either guessing, or passing on indirect information from others. 1. What will the Google Print sites be like? There will actually be at least 6 "Google Print" repositories. These will reside at the sites of the six major participants with a central text-only repository at Google, and five graphics sites, from each of the five member libraries: Michigan, Stanford, Oxford U.K., Harvard, and The New York Public Library. These five "graphics sites" are the providers of "pictures" of the books, while the Google site will have the actual text to match against your search questions. On the Google search site, there are "true eBooks," meaning the words have actually been entered into computers as computer characters with all the normal capabilities of computer characters: search, reformat via "cut and paste," quote or email the search results, etc. all with the usual "point and click" style to which we are accustomed. But it appears this site will let you only have a "snippet" of the text your search has uncovered; I am guessing a few lines at most, probably the same sort of results you now get from normal Google searches, perhaps fragmentary, certainly not enough to hold most complete quotations. Once you find a "hit" you want to pursue, you will be switched to the library sites, where the full-text copy of the book would be replaced with a picture file rather than a text file, so no more cut and paste will be possible, and printouts will be forbidden. Thus, if you want a quotation, you'll have to open up another process and type it in at your own keyboard the same way eBooks were first created over a third of a century ago. As I understand it, each of these 6 databases will be the property of each of the 6 members of the consortium, and will be protected by the usual DRM, Digital Rights Management, tools. There has already been much discussion over the "fair use" of sources such as these, even when their contents are in the public domain. It is the opinion of Project Gutenberg's CEO that "fair use" should win over DRM + DMCA [Digital Millennium Copyright Act. However, "bypassing DRM, even for public domain content, might not be treated as fair use, and may in fact be subject to penalties under the anti-circumvision provisions of the DMCA." 2. How many books will there be, and when will they be available? 15 million was the number thrown around the most, but I doubt that it is possible that even this collection of famous libraries should have enough books that fit the criteria they announced for their worldwide eBook service: A. Public Domain B. 19th Century C. Scannable Editions (using robotic page scanners, rather than destructive scanning) [though I did read on one of the Google Print pages, that they are soliciting books that CAN be destructively scanned. i.e. cut the binding off and run through as in a xerox machine. Obviously this is NOT what is planned for the libraries' books.] I'm guessing that when they start researching the copyright issues, a retraction will be made, stating that they have discovered those 19th Century books might still be under copyright, depending on a lifespan of the authors. Some of their most important works, such as Oxford's "Oxford English Dictionary" might have a few volumes published before the 20th Century that are still under copyright and thus not eligible for inclusion in their proposed service, along with many other books. [Of course this depends on which country the database is placed in, as the copyright rules for the U.K. are different that in the U.S.] Obviously, if they are really going to include 15 million books, they will have to include nearly every public domain book in each of their 5 member libraries, from the rarest to the most common. I am told by information science professionals that there have only been just over 30 million copyrights sought in entire history of the United States-- and that includes millions of items besides books. Doing 15 million, might then become problematic, as there might not be 15 million total separate books to work from, even presuming that at least half of the 30 million U.S. copyrights sought between 1790 and 2003 were for book titles that are now in the public domain. Obviously not every single book ever published has made it into these 5 libraries. The various time frames mentioned have ranged at least from 10 years, the longest, to 6 years, the shortest, among those I have seen. Please let me know if you have seen a wider range. I, myself, would bet they will have to cut some corners to include 10 million books 10 years from the announcement date, December 14, 2014. 3. Is this the first eBook library on the Internet? While the reports certainly would give that impression, that a world- changing event took place on December 14, 2004, with the invention of eBooks, eLibraries, book scanning, searches of eBooks, etc., it would be somewhat remiss not to mention that eBooks have been a staple of a growing Internet since the days when there were only 100 accounts for the entire Internet population a third of a century ago. The oldest Internet site on record is Project Gutenberg, the original eBook site, founded in 1971 at the University of Illinois. Of course the original entries were quite small by today's standards, compared, shall we say to the Bible, War and Peace, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, or the Complete Shakespeare, but, then again, you would have to take into account just how "small" computers were in the day. Today there are already 100,000 freely downloadable eBooks on the Net for anyone to have; complete full-text editions that people have been encouraged to download and keep at home at a cost of one cent per 100 books downloaded, or $100 for a drive that would hold 100,000 eBooks. Of course, some small stack of DVDs would hold 100,000 eBooks in that same physical space, at a cost of perhaps $2. 4. What kinds of books are included in these eLibraries? For the next year or two: >From what I could tell, Google Print is going in the direction of the scholarly approach, preserving extremely rare materials that mostly a scholarly community would be interested in. The only specific eBooks I heard proposed were the complete works of Shakespeare, which are on the Internet today in a variety of different editions and languages-- speaking of languages, I don't recall any mention of any language for Google Print other than English, though I am certain that each of the libraries concerned has many non-English volumes. My guess is that there will be a significant re-evaluation of project goals, timeline, expense, return on investment, etc., around the time this project reaches 100,000 books. As commented above, once they start approaching their 15 million goal for their collection, virtually every book will have to be included. Shakespeare was used as an example. As for Shakespeare, not only has Shakespeare been on the Internet for over a decade already, but it's already being made available in other languages than English, as well as at least half a dozen in English. I would have to guess that most of the famous books of history are on the Internet already, though I should warn you that it takes only 51% to make that statement true, and every time we double the book number we only cut the remaining possible entries by a small fraction. At least that will be true for the next few years until a majority of the public domain eBooks are made available. For the foreseeable future if you want the Complete Stevenson, or the Complete Shakespeare, or the Complete Dickens, or even those Complete Lang Fairy Tales in all colors, the best places to go will be: http://www.gutenberg.org [39 languages represented] and http://www.gutenberg.us [100+ languages] If you are in other countries, I also suggest you look up: Project Runeberg [Scandinavian] Project Gutenberg of Australia The Gutenberg Projekt -DE [Germany] The Internet Public Library The Online Book Pages and keep an eye out for: Project Gutenberg of Europe Project Gutenberg of Portugal Project Gutenberg of Canada I think you will find that if you download all the eBooks from these, which will only take a fraction of any new hard drive [if you leave a few like the Human Genome Project and audio books behind]. . .that it will turn out that you have a retail value in hardbound books of: $1,000,000 !!! 6. What about other eLibraries? Anyone interested in eBooks should look at the following sources: The Online Books Pages [University of Pennsylvania] Operated by John Mark Ockerbloom The Internet Public Library [University of Michigan] Was operated by David Carter, not sure who runs it now. Blackmask Operated by Daniel Moynihan A Celebration of Women Writers Operated by Mary Mark Ockerbloom [Before this goes out to the general public, please feel free to add your own favorites. [Free sites only, please] 7. What else should we consider for eLibraries? If you would like to add questions to this list, or modify any of the questions already listed, please let us know, and we will try our best to find the answers for you among the dozen of sources.

AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT CHOOSES TO CHANGE COPYRIGHT RULES [Depite a resolution passed to the contrary three years ago. . . . This is what is known as "economic warfare," and, as in warfare in general, it is the public who loses the most.] The final element of the Australia-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has passed through the Australian federal parliament. Copyright changes in last-minute talks are designed to: 1. Enable people other than copyright owners to force ISPs to remove materials allegedly infringing copyright. 2. Take effect on January 1, 2005. 3. Extended Australian copyright 20 years to now reach 70 years past the lifespan of the author. *** On the other hand, Project Gutenberg is getting great PR from: THE DA VINCI CODE "For their generous assistance in the research of the book, I would like to acknowledge the Louvre Museum, the French Ministry of Culture, Project Gutenberg, Bibliothe`que Nationale, the Gnostic Society Library, the Department of Paintings Study and Documentation Service at the Louvre, Catholic World News, Royal Observatory Greenwich, London Record Society, the Muniment Collection at Westminster Abbey, John Pike and the Federation of American Scientists, and the five members of Opus Dei (three active, two former) who recounted their stories, both positive and negative, regarding their experiences inside Opus Dei." *** eMusic In our efforts to further the digitization of sheet music, Project Gutenberg also recommends the Mutopia Project. The following was contributed by the project team leader, Chris Sawer: "The Mutopia project consists of a growing online collection of sheet music, all of which may be freely downloaded, printed, copied, distributed, modified, performed and recorded. It has just celebrated its fifth year online, and now has nearly 500 works, ranging from simple pieces for solo instruments, to large orchestral pieces and even an entire opera. Composers from Bach to Vivaldi are featured, along with some early jazz, and some modern pieces which have been released under a free license by their composers.

Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site: http://www.pgdp.net for more information about how you can help a lot, by simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more. If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed, and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it, please email dphelp(a)pgdp.net and we will get things started. Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online, visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file) listing Project Gutenberg eBooks and is available for downloading. Do you have Public Domain books you would like to see in the archive? Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp(a)pgdp.net with your geographic location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner (note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which will not be returned). We have high-speed scanners currently located in the east, west and central portions of the US to make shipping easier. Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at: http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK' lines to dphelp(a)pgdp.net Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself? Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution!

Statistical Review In the 49 weeks of this year, we have produced 3,800 new eBooks. It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3,800 eBooks!!! That's 49 WEEKS as Compared to ~31.5 YEARS!!!

This "cost" is down from about $.94 when we had 10,069 eBooks a year ago Can you imagine ~14,707 books each costing ~$.26 less a year later??? Or. . .would this say it better? Can you imagine ~14,707 books each costing 1/3 less a year later??? At 14,707 eBooks in 33 Years and 05.40 Months We Averaged 440 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!] 36.6 Per Month 1.20 Per Day At 3800 eBooks Done In The 343 Days Of 2004 We Averaged 11 Per Day 78 Per Week 340 Per Month The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks' production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon, starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon. This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week. *** *Headline News from NewsScan and Edupage [PG Editor's Comments In Brackets] >From NewsScan: GOOGLE CUTS DEAL WITH LIBRARIES TO DIGITIZE HOLDINGS Flush with new wealth after its IPO last summer, Google has offered to underwrite the cost of digitizing library collections at Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, the University of Michigan and the New York Public Library. Although company executives declined to comment on the total funding amount, one estimate pegs it at $10 for each of the more than 15 million books and other documents covered in the agreement. The announcement comes as a number of other library digitization projects are underway, including one at the Library of Congress to put selections of its best holdings online and one at the University of California to create the California Digital Library. In addition, the Library of Congress and a group of international libraries from the U.S., Canada, Egypt, China and the Netherlands say they're planning to create a publicly available digital archive of one million books on the Internet. The trend toward online libraries and virtual card catalogs has publishers scrambling to respond and libraries rethinking their central mission as storehouses of printed, indexed material. "Our world is about to change in a big, big way," says Daniel Greenstein, university librarian for the California Digital Library. Instead of devoting time and effort to maintaining physical collections, libraries in the future can focus on gathering information and making it accessible online. (New York Times 14 Dec 2004) <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/14/technology/14google.html> CONCERNS ABOUT GOOGLE'S ONLINE READING ROOM Google's new plan to digitize the collections of leading research libraries to establish a massive online reading room causes some librarians to fear the commercialization of their institutions. Duane Webster, executive director of the Association of Research Libraries, explains, "There is anxiety about whether the student researcher, scholar or citizen will be guided into the free public access rather than being lured into a purchasing relationship with the publisher." Webster suggests that to allay those fears, free, open access must remain an option. However, he also makes clear that the greater good of expanding the public's access to resources outweighs the eventual possibility that ads would be attached to library materials. Brewster Kahle, founder and president of the Internet Archive, comments: "The public domain belongs to the public and should be publicly accessible without running only into commercial interests. There's room for both, and I hope that we do not evolve into an either-or situation." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 15 Dec 2004) <http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/10416638.htm> MOBILE PHONES TO OUTNUMBER LAND LINES Cell phones are expected to generate more revenue this year than traditional land line phones in Africa, Asia and Latin America, according to a new report by the International Telecommunication Union. Just four years ago, fixed-line phone revenue was nearly double that of wireless, but mobile phone use is growing rapidly, especially in developing countries where wireless networks are much cheaper to install than traditional terrestrial ones. "Virtually all the global growth in the telecoms service sector over the last decade has come from the mobile sector, broadband and other data services," says Susan Schorr, one of the authors of the study. "Taken together, the value of mobile and other non-voice services is now greater than that of the traditional fixed-line telephone service, which had been the mainstay of public telecommunication operators since the late 19th century." Since 2000, four-fifths of all growth in mobile phone sales took place in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the former Soviet Union. "The developing world is where most of the potential for future growth resides," says Schorr, who adds that broadband is catching on in those countries as well, with China expected to overtake the U.S. this year as the world's biggest broadband market. (AP 10 Dec 2004) <http://apnews.excite.com/article/20041210/D86SR8GO0.html> U.S. AND TIME WARNER: LET'S SETTLE UP [AOL Finally Bites The Bullet] Time Warner has agreed to settle with the government in two separate cases: the Justice Department's investigation of whether AOL's advertising deals with smaller Internet companies were used to exaggerate AOL growth, and the SEC's investigation into accounting irregularities at the company. Time Warner is expected to pay $500-600 million to settle all civil and criminal accusations with the two agencies. (New York Times 15 Dec 2004) <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/15/business/media/15media.html> DISSIN' CHINA [Not all news coming out of China is positive] Law enforcement authorities in China have banned the new British computer game "Football Manager 2005" because it refers to Taiwan as a separate country, contrary to the mainland government's insistence that Taiwan belongs to China. The government is searching for the game online and in computer software markets, cybercafes, and places that sell pirated software. A spokesman for the game's developer, Sports Interactive, says it's working on a Chinese version for release in China that will comply with local requirements: "We will follow the correct submission and approval process within China and look forward to feedback from the Chinese authorities on any modifications that may be required." Last week China also banned a Nike television commercial it says is disrespectful and blasphemous toward Chinese culture. The ad features NBA star LeBron James in a mock video with a kung fu master, two women in traditional Chinese attire, and a pair of dragons. (AP/9 Nov 2004) <http://apnews.excite.com/article/20041209/D86S32RG0.html> IT'S OFFICIAL: IBM STRIKES DEAL TO SELL PC DIVISION [IBM goes back to being monolithic, leaves PC world for Big Business] [N.B. the price is 1/8 as much as Oracle paid for PeopleSoft!] IBM is selling its PC business to Chinese computer giant Lenovo Group for $1.25 billion in cash and stock. As part of the deal, IBM will own an 18.9% stake in Lenovo, which will be allowed to use the IBM brand for five years, as well as other trademarks on PCs and notebook computers. The sale vaults Lenovo to a solid No. 3 slot in the global PC market, behind Dell and Hewlett-Packard. In a message to IBM workers, chairman Sam Palmisano (who once headed the PC business) said the move was part of the company's strategy to focus on making products for large government and industry customers. "The PC business is rapidly taking on characteristics of the home and consumer electronic industry, which favors economies of scale, pricing power and a focus on individual users and buyers," wrote Palmisano. (Wall Street Journal 8 Dec 2004) <http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB110247027599793998,00.html> (sub req'd) MICROSOFT UNVEILS DESKTOP SEARCH TOOL Hot on the heels of Google's Desktop Search launch two months ago, Microsoft has rolled out its competing MSN Toolbar Suite that enables users to search for keywords in a variety of types of files, from e-mails to instant messages to PDFs. Google's Desktop Search does not support searches in PDF files but, unlike MSN Toolbar, it does record all Web pages visited. Both products are still in beta stage, but meanwhile the competition is heating up with Yahoo's announcement last week that it will launch a desktop search product in January, and AOL's plans to join the fray sometime early next year.

Recent reports in the media about IE vulnerabilities, as well as warnings from the Computer Emergency and Response Team at Carnegie Mellon University, prompted Penn State's recommendation that students look at browsers including Firefox, Safari, and Opera. A spokesperson for the university said, "We're not telling people to wipe off IE, because you need IE to do operating-system updates." As part of a two-month campaign to increase computer security across campus, however, the university is urging students to examine other browsers and to consider the benefits they might provide for increased protection from malicious code. Also included in the security campaign are reminders for students to install firewalls and antivirus software, to keep those applications updated, and to install operating-system updates regularly. CNET, 9 December 2004 http://news.com.com/2100-1002_3-5485834.html IPOD REQUIREMENT IN SECONDARY SCHOOL The Brearley School, a private girls' school in New York, has instituted an iPod requirement for about 300 students in grades 7 through 12. Some higher education institutions have similar requirements, including Duke University and Georgia College and State University, but this is reportedly the first such program at the secondary level. Students at Brearley will use the devices primarily for foreign languages and classics. Students can use their iPods to keep audio diaries, practice speaking foreign languages, and download and listen to lessons and other course content. Although the educational value of the technology remains an unknown quantity, teachers at Brearley noted that the "wow" factor of the iPods for teenage girls would likely benefit the initiative. At Duke, which issued iPods to 1,650 incoming freshmen this fall, the devices are also used in foreign language classes, among others. Lisa Merschel, who teaches Spanish at Duke, said she does not "necessarily see a correlation between using the iPod and an increased fluency in the language." Still, said Merschel, the iPods "helped me to see how [the students] were progressing as a class." New York Times, 9 December 2004 (registration req'd) http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/09/technology/circuits/09ipod.html IBM SELLS PC UNIT TO CHINESE COMPANY Following news reports (see Edupage, December 3) on the possibility, IBM has agreed to sell its personal computer unit to China's largest PC maker, Lenovo, for $1.75 billion in cash, stock, and debt. IBM will assume a 18.9 percent stake in Lenovo. The IBM PC business will continue to be run by its current management team and be based in the United States. Although based in Beijing, Lenovo plans to establish headquarters in New York. IBM will continue to handle technical support, financing, and warranty coverage for its former PC division. New York Times, 8 December 2004 (registration req'd) http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/08/technology/08computer.html PEOPLESOFT BOARD APPROVES SALE TO ORACLE After 18 months of wrangling, legal actions, and regulatory review, the PeopleSoft Board of Directors has approved a buyout offer from Oracle. The deal is valued at about $10.3 billion, or $26.50 per share, despite Oracle's insistence that $24 per share was its best offer. The higher price came after Oracle executives gained access to PeopleSoft's financial statements and determined the target company was more profitable than Oracle's earlier estimates. Oracle has promised strong support for current PeopleSoft customers, as well as those of J.D. Edwards, which PeopleSoft acquired during the takeover efforts by Oracle. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said development teams from both PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards would be retained and would operate independently. Ellison said updates to applications from both companies would be developed in the next year or two. Pending legal action over the merger will be suspended until the transaction is completed, at which point litigation will be dismissed. The deal is expected to close at the end of January.

Supplies are so low that if the usually reliable Progress spacecraft missed its delivery, American Leroy Chiao and Russian Salizhan Sharipov would be ordered back to Earth by mid-January, halfway through their six-month mission. "This Progress is critical, there is no question about that," NASA space station program manager Bill Gersteinmaier said Thursday. http://snipurl.com/b9o8 *Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media Elderly and Retired Being Called Up To Active Military In Middle East Some of you heard about the 55 year old woman called up by the army, but that has now been eclipsed by at least 100 over the age of 60, and at least one 70 year old has been called up to Afganistan. "My first reaction was disbelief," the Florida retiree said. "It never occurred to me that they would call a 70-year-old." The Department of Defense would not provide exact figures as to how many senior citizens had been called up. REPORT CONCLUDES LINUX HAS FEWER FLAWS [From Newsscan] A four-year research effort by code-analysis firm Coverity has concluded that Linux has significantly fewer software bugs in it than most commercial counterparts. Coverity uncovered 985 flaws in the 5.7 million lines of code that make up the Linux core operating system, compared with the more than 5,000 defects typically found in commercial software of similar size. "Linux is a very good system in terms of bug density," says Coverity CEO Seth Hallem. Though Coverity's report doesn't contain any specific data about the frequency of glitches in Microsoft's Windows operating system, it's likely to add fuel to the debate over which system -- Linux, Mac OS or Windows -- is most secure. One recent report found that Red Hat Linux contained fewer critical flaws than Microsoft Windows, while a Forrester Research study (sponsored by Microsoft) unsurprisingly favored Microsoft. (CNet News.com 13 Dec 2004) <http://news.com.com/Security+research+suggests+Linux+has+fewer+flaws/2100-1 002_3-5489804.html> [Since I used to live in San Francisco, this jumped out at me] TREMORS ROCK EARTH DEEP BENEATH SAN ANDREAS FAULT from San Francisco Chronicle Mysterious tremors deep beneath the San Andreas Fault near the quake-prone town of Parkfield are shaking the earth's brittle crust, far below the region where earthquakes normally strike -- and scientists say they can't understand what's happening or what the motions mean. Seismic researchers are monitoring the strange vibrations closely. But whether the faint underground tremors -- termed "chatter" by some seismologists -- portend an increased likelihood of a major quake in the area is an unsolved puzzle. Robert Nadeau, a geophysicist at the UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, has charted more than 110 of the faint vibrations since they were first detected by the lab's High Resolution Seismic Network in Parkfield three years ago. What concerns Nadeau and his colleagues is that the epicenter of the great 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake, whose magnitude has been estimated at 7.8 to 8, was located almost exactly where the deep tremors are now occurring -- beneath the San Luis Obispo County village of Cholame, some 17 miles south of Parkfield. http://snipurl.com/b9mz ESKIMOS SEEK TO RECAST GLOBAL WARMING AS A RIGHTS ISSUE from The New York Times (Registration Required) The Eskimos, or Inuit, about 155,000 seal-hunting peoples scattered around the Arctic, plan to seek a ruling from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights that the United States, by contributing substantially to global warming, is threatening their existence. The Inuit plan is part of a broader shift in the debate over human-caused climate change evident among participants in the 10th round of international talks taking place in Buenos Aires aimed at averting dangerous human interference with the climate system. Inuit leaders said they planned to announce the effort at the climate meeting today. http://snipurl.com/bdtn *STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK About "Google Print" "This is the day the world changes." John Wilkin, University of Michigan "Within two decades, most of the world's knowledge will be digitised and available, one hopes for free reading on the internet, just as there is free reading in libraries today." Michael A. Keller, Head Librarian, Stanford Ronald Milne, Acting Head Librarian, Bodleian Library, Oxford, said that this was as important an event as the Gutenberg's orginal invention of the printing press. [Does anyone have the exact quotation. . .I was taking notes from three nearly simultaneous reports] [BTW, didn't we hear that a major portion of the Bodleian was now confortably ensconced deep within a salt mine? So how is Google going to scan those?] "Our world is about to change in a big, big way," Daniel Greenstein, California Digital Library *PREDICTIONS OF THE WEEK Project Gutenberg will be the first eBook collection to offer $1,000,000 worth of eBooks at 2005 hardback retail prices. Project Gutenberg will be the first eBook collection to offer 100,000 eBooks. *ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE VIKTOR YUSHCHENKO HAS RECORD DIOXIN LEVELS "the concentration, about 100,000 units per gram of blood fat, is the second highest ever recorded in human history," Prof. Abraham Brouwer, Toxicologist, Free University in Amsterdam * We keep hearing annoucements that high school graduates make $1.42 for each $1 made by high school dropouts.

A radical, he had great influence in Wales through his journal Y Cronicl. Denouncing slavery, the Crimean war, he advocated votes for women, universal suffrage and the building of railways(!) Frustated with the political oppression he encountered from vested interests in Wales he emigrated to Tennessee in 1857 - with others from his village. Their new life gradually fell apart (they were a long way from other Welsh-speakers in America, were duped etc.). Eventually Samuel had to return to Wales, to be met with scorn and ridicule. He died in 1885. His literary output was vast and this selection from his works includes some of his poetry and his political tale of "Farmer Careful" (and his encounters with Lord Protection etc). The book is in Welsh. ~ ~ ~ David Widger forwards the following note about #14358, A Little Book of Filipino Riddles: Note from submitter: This includes material in English (main), and the following Philippine languages (iso 639 code): Tagalog (tl), Bikol (bik), Hiligaynon (hil), Ilokano, (ilo), Pangasinan (pag), Kapampangan (pam), and Gaddang (no ISO 639 code, gad in SIL ethnologue). Hiligaynon is confusingly identified as Bisayan, which can mean any of the several languages spoken in the Visayas, and is more commonly known as Ilonggo. ~ ~ ~ Joe Loewenstein sends along the following about #14305, Brut: Layamon was an early Middle English poet (pre-Chaucer). This work is part of his chronicle of English history written about 1200. ~ ~ ~ Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation. =============================================================================

This "cost" is down from about $.94 when we had 10,069 eBooks a year ago Can you imagine ~14,649 books each costing ~$.26 less a year later??? Or. . .would this say it better? Can you imagine ~14,649 books each costing 1/3 less a year later??? At 14,649 eBooks in 33 Years and 05.00 Months We Averaged 438 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!] 36.6 Per Month 1.20 Per Day At 3742 eBooks Done In The 343 Days Of 2004 We Averaged 11 Per Day 78 Per Week 340 Per Month The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks' production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon, starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon. This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week. *** *Headline News from NewsScan and Edupage [PG Editor's Comments In Brackets] >From NewsScan: IBM MAY BE LEAVING THE PC BUSINESS IBM is said to be talking with Chinese PC-maker Lenovo, which was formerly known as Legend, about the possible sale of IBM's PC operations (though IBM neither confirms nor denies the rumor). Samuel J. Palmisano, who became IBM's chief executive in 2002, has been recasting it as a service organization offering itself as a consulting partner with its corporate customers. Industry analyst Mark Stahlman explains, "Palmisano's getting out of businesses that aren't growth opportunities and concentrating on what IBM does best. PC's are not where the growth is." And Gartner research vice president Leslie Fiering says: "Exiting the market may be the only logical choice for global vendors bleeding profits and struggling for share. The PC divisions of HP and IBM are vulnerable to being spun off if their drag on margins and profitability are deemed too great by their parent companies." (New York Times 3 Dec 2004) <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/03/technology/03ibm.html?hp&ex=1102136400&en =a404729a59c077f6&ei=5094&partner=homepage> EX-CIA CHIEF WORRIES ABOUT INTERNET SECURITY Former CIA Director George J. Tenet sees the Internet as "a potential Achilles' heel" in the fight against terrorism, endangering "our financial stability and physical security if the networks we are creating are not protected." Calling for new cybersecurity measures, Tenet says: "I know that these actions will be controversial in this age when we still think the Internet is a free and open society with no control or accountability, but ultimately the Wild West must give way to governance and control." He believes that access to the Web might need to be limited to those who can show they take security seriously.

The nonprofit Internet Archive and the Prelinger Archives argued that so-called orphan works--books that are out of print, old films, and academic articles without significant commercial value--should be easier to archive and make publicly available. At issue in the case was the plaintiffs' contention that current law fundamentally alters the scope of copyright because it does not require owners of works to apply for copyright protection, instead granting protection irrespective of whether it is sought. The judge in the case disagreed, issuing her ruling without hearing arguments. Jennifer S. Granick, executive director of the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford University, which was involved on behalf of the plaintiffs, said the judge's ruling was improper and that the plaintiffs would appeal. Chronicle of Higher Education, 30 November 2004 (sub. req'd) http://chronicle.com/prm/daily/2004/11/2004113003n.htm BRITISH PROGRAM TEACHES SCHOOLCHILDREN ABOUT COPYRIGHT British Music Rights (BMR), a group that represents songwriters and composers, is sponsoring a program to educate British schoolchildren between the ages of 11 and 14 about copyright and music piracy. The group has put together education packs that include lessons about copyright, royalties, and downloading music on the Internet, as well as how these issues affect the creation of original work. Music piracy in the United Kingdom is blamed for a steady decline in recent years in CD sales and for significant financial losses to recording companies and to artists and songwriters. In addition to limiting copyright violations, the education packs, which have been requested by more than 1,600 schools, are designed to prepare children for possible careers in the music industry. Guy Chambers, one of the songwriters who has publicly supported the BMR campaign, said the education packs will help shield young people who might pursue a career in the music industry from "unscrupulous" individuals. BBC, 30 November 2004 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4055753.stm S. KOREAN OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE CELL-PHONE CHEATING Officials in South Korea are investigating a suspected widespread ring of using cell phones to cheat on the country's university admissions examinations. Cultural pressure to succeed academically is intense in South Korea, so much so that some students commit suicide as a result of poor academic showing. As noted by Jung Bong-mun, an Education Ministry official who works on college admission policy, student cheating "is mainly due to pressure to do well in a test that will decide their lives forever." Combined with nearly ubiquitous cell phones, which provide new avenues for cheating, this pressure has led to an unprecedented level of cheating on this year's exam, which was taken by approximately 600,000 students. According to officials, several hundred may have been involved in the scheme to send answers by cell-phone text messages to those taking the test. Students reportedly paid around USD$1,000 each, which leads authorities to suspect that in many cases parents may be involved. Reuters, 3 December 2004 http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?storyID=6986502 IBM CONSIDERS EXITING THE PC BUSINESS IBM is reportedly negotiating a possible sale of its PC unit to Chinese PC maker Lenovo Group, though neither company is commenting publicly at this time. If such a transaction takes place, it would mark the end of IBM's storied history with the PC, a market currently led by Dell and HP. Analysts consistently agree, however, that the move would be good for IBM, which has made no secret of its intentions to focus on higher-margin operations such as software and computer services. In particular, IBM executives have identified business process outsourcing as a key opportunity for the company. For its part, Lenovo stands to benefit significantly from acquiring IBM's PC business, which has in recent years migrated much of its production to China. If such a deal goes through, Lenovo would have access to U.S. markets, which have traditionally been out of its reach, and would also own the very popular ThinkPad series of notebook computers. As noted by IDC analyst Roger Kay, in such a deal, "the IBM notebooks would be the prize."

In recent elections around the world, including some that are not reported much in the news, it would seem that cell phones have been one of the primary tools of the election monitors in kicking vote fraud to the curb. Election monitors are counting the ballots as they go though the official counting process and then calling in the results immediately. . .if the total is altered by the time the official results are released, everyone already knows cheating is going on. These results are being forwarded to the citizenry by new private radio stations that were not in existence until recently. Apparently in some regions these sources are regarded as the most accurate reflections of actual voting, since corruption is so rampant between the polling place and the central authorities. *Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media REMEMBER THE FLAP ABOUT SAT SCORES FALLING TO 90% OF WWII LEVELS? The main reason was stated as the US scores should not be compared to the scores of other countries because only the highest level of students take such tests in other countries. FALSE: US population is 296 million of which 1,419,007 take the SATs. South Korean population is 48 million of which 600,000 take their test. US has 6 times as many people, but only 2.3 times as many student tests. [Figures are for 2002-2003 academic year] [BTW, the US barely average 25th in international testing.] [Detailed listing available on request, ask for schools.gut] * Is 'Fair Use' in Peril? The far-reaching Intellectual Property Protection Act would deny consumers many of the freedoms they take for granted. By Eric Hellweg November 19, 2004 Do you like fast-forwarding through commercials on a television program you've recorded? How much do you like it? Enough to go to jail if you're caught doing it? If a new copyright and intellectual property omnibus bill sitting on Congress's desk passes, that may be the choice you'll face. How can this be possible? Because language that makes fast-forwarding through commercials illegal-no doubt inserted at the behest of lobbyists for the advertising industry-was inserted into a bill that would allow people to fast forward past objectionable sections of a recorded movie (and I bet you already thought that was OK). And that's but one, albeit scary, scenario that may come to pass if the Intellectual Property Protection Act is enacted into law. Deliberations on this legislation will be one of the tasks for the lame-duck Congress that commenced this week. http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/04/11/wo_hellweg111904.asp?trk=3Dnl * The National Science Foundation, as per the current Omnibus Bill, is losing $30 million each for research grants and education programs, as part of a total loss of over $100 million for the coming year, as the US continues its push to continually whittle down this source of some of the greatest recent research and inventions. * NEW MININIM WAGE INCREASE IS ACTUALLY A DECREASE, COUNTING INFLATION You may have heard the great success stories that the new minimum wage is finally going to be put into effect at $7.15, up from previous $5.15. BUT. . .what you don't hear is that in 2007, when this increase will be finally in effect, the actual value of $7.15 will be only about $4.77, given a ten year inflation rate of approximately 4%. People will try to tell you that it's much lower than 4%, but if so, that would only raise the $4.77 to the average buying power of the last 50 years, as in the table below. . .however, using Google to search for "2003 inflation" the most recent figure I got was 4.4% for December 2002, January 2003, and June 2003, but with various disclaimers as usual, stating the previous year was abnormal. [National Consumer Price Index (NCPI) Decade Average in Current Dollars Average in 1997 Dollars 1950's $0.85 $5.02 1960's $1.29 $6.42 1970's $2.07 $6.30 1980's $3.33 $5.42 1990's $5.15 $5.15* 2000's $7.15 $4.77* Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, except for * Here's what you MAY have heard in the news: After years and years of wrangling, the Pennsylvania minimum wage finally is going to move from $5.15/hour to $7.15/hour over the next few years. The major reason given for fighting the increase was that corporations in the neighoring states of Maryland and West Virginia would thus have an economic advantage over those in Pennsylvania. Question: Why do so many people pretend that politics is NOT about the corporations versus the people? I literally can't remember how long ago it was that the minimum wage went to around $5, but it was a LONG time ago, and inflation has been pretty stiff over those years, probably averaging 4-5%. The new $7.15 Pennsylvania minimum wage, by the time it is fully implented in 2007, will be at an inflation rate of about $1.50 when compared to the $5.15 rate in 1997. . .or 2/3 of $7.15 = $4.77 Workers will have lost $.37 per hour in wages, not to mention higher taxes, higher health care, etc. * Recent classified documents from the CIA Station Chief in Iraq and other senior CIA officials have indicated the situation in Iraq is/was much more distastrous before the US election than President Bush would have liked us to believe, and that the current preparations for the Iraqi elections are taking place in an environment that is equally disastrous. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/07/international/middleeast/07intell.html?hp& ex=1102482000&en=78f41ffc3ad43b8a&ei=5094&partner=homepage *STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK REWRITING THE HISTORY OF THE 1968 CHICAGO POLICE RIOTS You heard it here last week, before the official announcement! [By the way, as predicted here, it appears that both Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather will be marching off to join the other dinosaurs in the near future, and I predict Peter Jennings will join them. The average age of these three passed double the median age of the United States years ago when the median was 33 years of age. Their average age is now around 73 years old. Mr. Lehrer is only just now coming up to 70.] *PREDICTION OF THE WEEK [Last Week's] New news anchors for the major networks will be being tested on all the networks in the coming year or two, but the old ones will be invited back for the next election. *ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK >From the New York times: "But it turns out the e-book market has been changing course and, though still tiny, has been growing at double-digit rates. It is, in fact, the fastest-growing segment of the comparatively static publishing world. Between 2002 and 2003, the number of e-books sold rose 71 percent, according to the industry's trade association, the Open eBook Forum. The industry posted record sales in the first quarter of 2004, a 46 percent increase compared with the same period last year. Still, last year's sales of 1.4 million downloadable books are minuscule compared with the more than 2.2 billion books sold in the United States in 2003." * US health spending shot up 9.3 percent in 2002 to $1.6 trillion, 3 to 4 times the average inflation rate. However, the average health and life expectancy figures barely increased at all. * ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS HAVE OVERTAKEN CHECKS [From Newsscan, details above] In 2003, Americans made 44.5 billion payments via electronic transactions, compared to only 36.7 billion payments by paper checks. The trend toward electronic purchases has been accelerated by strong growth in the popularity of debit cards, which can now be used to buy almost anything. Jean Ann Fox of the Consumer Federation of America says, "They're quick and easy. You don't stand there and hold up everybody in line behind you. Plus, folks are moving toward electronic banking and paying bills electronically." But she warns: "It's getting very confusing for consumers, and companies have not upgraded their protections." (Washington Post 6 Dec 2004) <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41858-2004Dec6.html> * 3/4 of all email today is spam! * CORAL REEF DAMAGE RISING WORLDWIDE from Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- Only about 30 percent of the world's coral reefs are healthy, down from 41 percent two years ago, according to a study released Monday that lists global warming as the top threat. The study found as many as one-fifth of the world's coral reefs have been destroyed. Another half are damaged but could be saved, it said. Coral reefs are among the oldest and most diverse forms of life. They provide food and shelter to fish and protect shores from erosion. http://snipurl.com/b6lp *** Here is some follow up information sent in about our article on Bhopal 1. There was no siren and no warning--people woke with the gases already in their faces, filling their mouths, noses and lungs with excruciating pain. 2. NONE of safety systems were functioning on the night of the disaster six in all. 3. Union Carbide under-invested in an inherently hazardous facility located in a crowded neighborhood, used admittedly unproven designs, stored lethal MIC in reckless quantities, dismantled safety systems and cut down on safety staff and training in an effort to cut costs. 4. Union Carbide and its new owner, Dow Chemical, continue to blame the disaster on a fictitious and unnamed worker, and deny their own negligence. 5. In the wake of the disaster, Carbide claimed that the gas was harmless, when it knew it was lethal (as described in its own manuals). 6. Dow-Carbide refuses to share all its medical information about the health effects of the gas it released, MIC--information that doctors could use to save lives--claiming the information is a "trade secret". 7. Union Carbide fled India and abandoned its Bhopal plant, leaving thousands of tons of dangerous chemicals behind, which are now poisoning the water of the same people Carbide first poisoned 20 years ago. As more people grow sick, Dow-Carbide still refuses to clean up its pollution in Bhopal. 8. The Union Carbide Corporation, charged criminally with "culpable homicide" in the wake of the disaster, has refused to appear in court or stand trial. Union Carbide is now an international fugitive from justice, considered an "absconder" under Indian law. Bhopal remains one of the world's worst examples of corporate crime, but the people of Bhopal continue to persevere in their call for justice. *Information About the Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists For more information about the Project Gutenberg's mailing lists, including the Project Gutenberg Weekly and Monthly Newsletters: and the other Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists: The weekly is sent on Wednesdays, and the monthly is sent on the first Wednesday of the month.

Please visit the site: http://www.pgdp.net for more information about how you can help a lot, by simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more. If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed, and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it, please email dphelp(a)pgdp.net and we will get things started. Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online, visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file) listing Project Gutenberg eBooks and is available for downloading.

Please email dphelp(a)pgdp.net with your geographic location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner (note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which will not be returned). We have high-speed scanners currently located in the east, west and central portions of the US to make shipping easier. Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at: http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK' lines to dphelp(a)pgdp.net Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself? Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution!

Statistical Review In the 47 weeks of this year, we have produced 3664 new eBooks. It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3664 eBooks!!! That's 47 WEEKS as Compared to ~31.5 YEARS!!! With 14,571 eBooks online as of December 01, 2004 it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.69 from each book, for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books. 100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population! This "cost" is down from about $.95 when we had 10,069 eBooks a year ago Can you imagine ~14,571 books each costing ~$.26 less a year later??? Or. . .would this say it better? Can you imagine ~14,571 books each costing 1/3 less a year later??? At 14,571 eBooks in 33 Years and 04.75 Months We Averaged 436 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!] 36.1 Per Month 1.19 Per Day At 3664 eBooks Done In The 336 Days Of 2004 We Averaged 11 Per Day 78 Per Week 341 Per Month The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks' production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon, starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon. This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week. *Flashback!!! 3334 New eBooks So Far in 2004 It took us ~31 years for the first 3324 ! That's the 9.75 months of 2004 as Compared to ~31 years!!! *Headline News from NewsScan and Edupage [PG Editor's Comments In Brackets] >From NewsScan: THE IPOD HALO EFFECT [Not to mention that people are reading eBooks on the iPods!] The popularity of Apple's iPod music players is having an unexpected effect -- six percent of iPod users report having dumped their old PCs for Apple Macs, and an additional 7% say they're planning to do the same. Among the reasons cited are ease of use, a focus on entertainment and the perception of better security. Gene Munster, senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray, which conducted the study, says the iPod halo effect will boost Apple's bottom line for a while to come: "We're in the very early innings of a multiyear trend." However, to maintain the buzz, Apple will need to stay ahead of the pack with new design trends. "They've got to keep that 'cool factor' going. If they don't, they're in trouble," says Munster. (CNet News.com 24 Nov 2004) <http://news.com.com/Survey+Some+iPod+fans+dump+PCs+for+Macs/2100-1042_3-546 5935.html> PC MAKERS FACING HARD TIMES [And we wondered why Intel was withholding the 4Ghz Pentium a year ago.] Three of the top 10 PC makers may drop out of the global PC market by 2007, starved by stagnant demand during the 2006-2008 timeframe, according to a new report by Gartner. The near-term forecast is a little brighter -- Gartner predicts annual shipment increases of 11.3% and annual revenue increases of about 4.7% between 2003 and 2005. But by 2006, most corporations and consumers will have replaced their oldest computers, completing the latest PC replacement cycle, which occurs about every four years for PCs and every three years for laptops. Emerging markets such as China will boost revenues during that time, but not enough to offset slack demand elsewhere, says Gartner, which declined to say which companies might drop out of the PC race. "The bottom line here is that the vendor landscape will look very different in the next couple of years," says a Gartner analyst, adding that there's still time for PC makers to enact cost-cutting measures that would enable them to survive the anticipated drought. (CNet News.com 29 Nov 2004) <news.com.com/Are+PC+makers+poised+for+major+hit/2100-1003_3-5470068.html> CYBERSPACE ACTIVISM [More below in Edupage section] The German-based Web portal Lycos Europe is offering a screensaver program that chokes spam servers by flooding them with junk traffic. The company argues that what it's doing is perfectly legal, but former FCC chief technologist David Farber comments: "You don't stop a bad thing by being bad yourself. The idea of somebody coming and hitting you and you hitting back, you both end up very hurt. It just aggravates an already serious problem." And noted computer security expert Dorothy Denning, a professor of defense analysis at the Navy Postgraduate School, points out that cyberspace activism of the kind offered by Lycos Europe is likely to have only minimal impact on spam because "the cost of adding extra bandwidth may be worth the reward" that spammers get from their activities. She adds: "The interesting question is whether or not that company [an anti-spam activist company] might be liable under some law, and would probably be liable, certainly, at least under a lawsuit by the spammers." (AP 30 Nov 2004) <www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2004-11-30-lycos-attack-spam_x.htm?csp=34> LOWER PRICES ON THIN TVs (BUY NOW!) A glut of liquid crystal display (LCD) flat-panel televisions will cause prices to drop by as much as 30 percent over the course of 2005; however, electronics retailers would just as soon not hear that kind of talk, and Lee Simonson of Best Buy admits: "We do not want to talk about predictions of price drops. We want people to buy now." According to a survey by the Consumer Electronics Association, the most desired holiday gift this season is a plasma TV, but Mike Fidler, an executive vice president at Sony, says that LCD TV's will drop so much in price that plasma will go away in three to five years.(AP/New York Times 29 Nov 2004) <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/29/technology/29lcd.html> WIRELESS IN PHILADELPHIA Verizon has struck a deal with the city of Philadelphia to provide wireless Internet access as a municipal service. A spokeswoman for Philadelphia Mayor John F. Street says the two parties "reached an understanding that protects our interests and allows us to move forward with the Wireless Philadelphia initiative." Under the Pennsylvania legislation, any political subdivision would have to get the permission of the local telephone company to provide a telecommunications service for a fee, including broadband Internet, and if the company rejects the plan it would have to offer a similar service within 14 months.

Rather than targeting the e-mails themselves or their sources, which are often spoofed, the new tactic focuses on the Web sites where spam directs consumers. Using blacklists--from organizations such as Spamcop--of companies that profit from spam, the screensaver sends repeated requests to those companies' Web sites for information about their products. The goal, according to officials at Lycos, is not to overload the sites to the point of failure but to drive up the costs for companies to respond to so many hits on their Web sites. The screensaver also has been shown to slow traffic on some targeted sites by as much as 85 percent. The hope, according to Malte Pollmann of Lycos Europe, is that there will be a general decline in the amount of spam sent if the vendors who benefit from spam are forced to pay much higher costs to maintain their Web sites. The screensaver, which can be downloaded beginning in December, is available to all users, regardless of whether they are registered users of Lycos.

In addition, some 11,000 people Bhopal residents were disabled by the poison gas that was created when water mixed with pesticide. [Since I first wrote this, further ressearch shows over 20,000 died. Any further data would be appreciated] Recent televised reports show that Union Carbide left behind clearly marked poisons when they abandoned the Bhopal plant shortly after. Apparently the Union Carbide headquarters of Danbury, Connecticut, the major stockholder of the Bhopal Union Carbide India Limited plant, appears to have paid a fee to the government of India, and considers the case closed, even though thousands of Bhopal families appear to have been ignored, and the neither the contamination from the explosion nor from the other poisons intentionally left behind have been cleaned up, even to this day. *STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK REWRITING THE HISTORY OF THE 1968 CHICAGO POLICE RIOTS "The police and demonstrators were going after each other. The protestors were provoking the police." Tom Brokaw 11/16/04 This seems to be quite at odds with his former commentaries, which you can find searching "tom brokaw police chicago 1968" in which he says he fought with his parents "we had a huge fight" and that he thought his "parents who were FDR working class democrats" "would be very sympathetic towards the demonstrators." Apparently you really do get more conservative as you get older. [1968 was Mr. Brokaw's first year of convention coverage.] [By the way, as predicted here, it appears that both Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather will be marching off to join the other dinosaurs in the near future, and I predict Peter Jennings will join them. The average age of these three passed double the median age of the United States years ago when the median was 33 years of age. Their average age is now around 73 years old. Mr. Lehrer is only just now coming up to 70.] and >From a Nina Totenberg, Washingon, November 30, 2004, NPR Report: A representative of a Georgia school district who fired a teacher/coach in an alleged Title IX retaliation said the case could not have been made "more clearer." This case, in its entirety, is making its way to the Supreme Court. and John Wayne on "stealing" the America from its original inhabitants: Q: "For years American Indians have played an important -- if subordinate -- role in your Westerns. Do you feel any empathy for them?" A: "I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that's what you're asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves." *PREDICTION OF THE WEEK New news anchors for the major networks will be being tested on all the networks in the coming year or two, but the old ones will be invited back for the next election. *ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK INCREASING REPORTS OF AIDS IN AFRICA ON WORLD AIDS DAY Sites in Africa are reporting 50% testing positive for HIV/AIDS, and that more women are testing positive than men. FIREFOX TAKES A BITE OUT OF IE The percentage of Web surfers using Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser has fallen below 90%, with many of those users switching over to Mozilla's Firefox. According to a survey by OneStat.com, IE's market share has dropped 5% since May to 88.9%, while Mozilla browsers -- including Firefox -- have garnered an additional 5% in the same time period. Firefox's goal is to capture 10% of the market by the end of 2005. OneStat compiled the statistical comparisons from two million Internet users in 100 countries.

The far-reaching Intellectual Property Protection Act would deny consumers many of the freedoms they take for granted. By Eric Hellweg November 19, 2004 Do you like fast-forwarding through commercials on a television program you've recorded? How much do you like it? Enough to go to jail if you're caught doing it? If a new copyright and intellectual property omnibus bill sitting on Congress's desk passes, that may be the choice you'll face. How can this be possible? Because language that makes fast-forwarding through commercials illegal-no doubt inserted at the behest of lobbyists for the advertising industry-was inserted into a bill that would allow people to fast forward past objectionable sections of a recorded movie (and I bet you already thought that was OK). And that's but one, albeit scary, scenario that may come to pass if the Intellectual Property Protection Act is enacted into law. Deliberations on this legislation will be one of the tasks for the lame-duck Congress that commenced this week.

Not anymore. The school board has ordered that biology teachers at Dover Area High School make students "aware of gaps/problems" in the theory of evolution. Their ninth-grade curriculum now must include the theory of "intelligent design," which posits that life is so complex and elaborate that some greater wisdom has to be behind it. http://snipurl.com/azil

The months of January, February and most of March are designated as in two years: for example January 1668/1669. By our present method this is January 1669. In the 1893 edition of "Pepys" edited by Wheatley he explains: "The year did not legally begin in England before the 25th of March until the act for altering the style fixed the 1st of January as the first-day of the year, and previous to 1752 the year extended from March 25th to the following March 24th. Thus since 1752 we have been in the habit of putting the two dates for the month of January and February and March 1 to 24 in all years previous to 1752. Practically however, many persons considered the year to commence with January 1st as it will be seen Pepys did. The 1st of January was considered as New Year's Day long before Pepys's time. The fiscal year has not been altered, and the national accounts are still reckoned from old Lady Day, which falls on the 6th of April." Henry B. Wheatley, F.S.A. 1893 (Ed.: I'm looking forward to the explanation of "old Lady Day"! <g>) ~ ~ ~ Milestone: This past week saw the 100th eBook in Finnish posted. ~ ~ ~ Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone with less ability might have your job. =============================================================================
